Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (the Company), a Delaware corporation, develops and operates fast-casual, fresh Mexican food
restaurants throughout the United States. The Company also has one restaurant in Toronto, Canada and one in London, England. As of June 30, 2010, the Company operated 1,001 restaurants. The Company manages its operations based on five regions
and has aggregated its operations to one reportable segment.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual reports. This
quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements
through the day the financial statements are issued.

2. Adoption of New Accounting Principle

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted amendments in Accounting Standards Update 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06) requiring
new fair value disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a significant impact to the Companys consolidated financial statements.

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Companys cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value
because of their short-term nature. Available-for-sale securities were measured at fair market value on a recurring basis based on level 2 inputs (quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active) and consisted of CDARS, certificate
of deposit products.

5. Shareholders Equity

During the first six months of 2010, the Company purchased shares of common stock under an authorized share repurchase program. The shares
may be purchased from time to time in open market transactions, subject to market conditions. The Company repurchased 439 shares for $56,413 during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The cumulative shares repurchased under authorized programs
as of June 30, 2010 are 2,429 for a total cost of $170,729. The shares are being held in treasury stock until such time as they are reissued or retired at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

The Company has repurchased shares of common stock from participants of the Amended and Restated Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. 2006 Stock
Incentive Plan (the Plan), which are netted and surrendered as payment for applicable tax withholding on the vesting of their stock awards. Shares surrendered by the participants in accordance with the Plan and the applicable award
agreements are deemed repurchased by the Company but are not part of publicly announced share repurchase programs. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company repurchased 21 shares for a total cost of $2,170.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company granted stock only stock appreciation rights (SARs) on 556 shares of its common
stock to eligible employees. The grant date fair value of the SARs was $39.35 per share with an exercise price of $103.79 per share based on the closing price of common stock on the date of grant. The SARs vest in two equal installments on the
second and third anniversary of the grant date.

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company granted 6 restricted stock
units for common stock with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $142.54 which vest on the third anniversary of the grant.

Total stock-based compensation expense was $7,202 and $12,138 ($4,443 and $7,487 net of tax) for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010, respectively, and was $4,535 and $8,065 ($2,781 and $4,945 net of tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, $200, $449, $196 and $354
respectively, of stock-based compensation was recognized as capitalized development and is included in leasehold improvements, property and equipment in the consolidated balance sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, 125 SARs and
options to purchase shares of common stock were exercised, 1 option expired, 1 SAR was forfeited and 60 shares of performance-contingent restricted stock vested.

7. Related Party Transactions

The Companys Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), served as Creative Director for Sequence, LLC (Sequence), a
strategic design and marketing consulting firm he co-founded, prior to joining the Company in January 2009. In connection with the CMOs separation from Sequence, the parties entered into certain agreements that remain in effect. Sequence has
provided the Company with a variety of marketing consulting services totaling $487 and $773 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

8. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share (diluted EPS) is calculated using income available to common shareholders divided by diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during each period.
Potentially dilutive securities include common shares related to stock options, SARs and non-vested stock. Diluted EPS considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the
potential common shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect. SARs and options to purchase 479 and 678 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, and 322 and 742
were excluded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, because they were anti-dilutive. In addition, 119 stock awards subject to performance conditions were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

9. Commitments and Contingencies

A lawsuit has been filed against the Company in California alleging violations of state laws regarding employee record-keeping, meal and
rest breaks, payment of overtime and related practices with respect to its employees. The case originally sought damages, penalties and attorneys fees on behalf of a purported class of the Companys present and former employees. The court
denied the plaintiffs motion to certify the purported class, and as a result the action can proceed, if at all, as an action by a single plaintiff. The plaintiff has appealed the courts denial of class certification, and the appeal
remains pending. Although the Company has various defenses, it is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the outcome of or any potential liability from this case.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to other proceedings, lawsuits and claims. Such
matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, the Company is unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters as of
June 30, 2010. These matters could affect the operating results of any one quarter when resolved in future periods. Management does not believe that any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company as a result of these proceedings or
claims will be material to the Companys annual consolidated financial statements. However, a significant increase in the number of these claims, or one or more successful claims resulting in greater liabilities than the Company currently
anticipates, could materially and adversely affect the Companys business, financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.

On July 22, 2010, the Company announced that their Board of Directors has authorized the expenditure of up to an additional $100
million to repurchase shares of common stock.

Overview

Chipotle
operates fresh Mexican food restaurants serving burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla) and salads. We began with a simple philosophy: demonstrate that food served fast doesnt have to be a traditional
fast-food experience. Over the years, that vision has evolved. Today, our vision is to change the way the world thinks about and eats fast food. We do this by avoiding a formulaic approach when creating our restaurant experience, looking
to fine-dining restaurants for inspiration. We use high-quality raw ingredients, classic cooking methods and distinctive interior design, and have friendly people to take care of each customerfeatures that are more frequently found in the
world of fine dining. Our approach is also guided by our belief in an idea we call Food With Integrity. Our objective is to find the highest quality ingredients we caningredients that are grown or raised with respect for the
environment, animals and people who grow or raise the food.

2010 Highlights

Restaurant Development. As of June 30, 2010, we had 1,001 restaurants, of which 999 were located throughout the United
States and one in Toronto, Canada as well as one in London, England. New restaurants have contributed substantially to our revenue growth. We opened 25 and 45 restaurants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 including our first
restaurant in London. We expect to open between 120 and 130 restaurants in 2010. Up to 25% of these openings will be what we are calling A Model restaurants. These restaurants are located in well established markets with high levels of
brand awareness. A Model locations are being built primarily in secondary trade areas which have attractive demographics but are typically characterized by lower occupancy costs. A Model locations are also being constructed for substantially lower
investment costs than our recent traditional restaurant openings. While the economic environment has put pressure on the commercial real estate market and developers, reducing the number of new real estate developments available to us, which have
historically accounted for a majority of our new restaurants, we expect that A Model locations will allow us to pursue additional opportunities and continue to open 120-130 restaurants in 2010.

Sales Growth. Average restaurant sales were $1.763 million as of June 30, 2010. We define average
restaurant sales as the average trailing 12-month sales for restaurants in operation for at least 12 full calendar months. Our comparable restaurant sales increase for the first six months of 2010 was 6.6% driven primarily by an increase in
customer visits. Comparable restaurant sales represent the change in period-over-period sales for restaurants beginning in their
13th full month of operation. We expect our 2010 full year
comparable restaurant sales increases to be in the mid to high single digits.

Food With Integrity. We face challenges
associated with pursuing Food With Integrity, including the availability of naturally raised meats. We define naturally raised as coming from animals that are fed a pure vegetarian diet, never given antibiotics or hormones, and raised humanely
in open pastures or deeply bedded pens. Our definition is more stringent than the USDAs standard for naturally raised marketing claims. We continue to serve naturally raised pork in all our restaurants. During the second quarter we reached our
goal of serving barbacoa made with naturally raised beef in all of our restaurants, which has increased the amount of naturally raised beef we serve to about 85%. As a result of ongoing supply challenges, we had to reduce the percentage of naturally
raised chicken we serve by about 20% during the second quarter benefitting food costs. We expect about 80% of our chicken to be naturally raised until additional supply of chicken that meets our naturally raised protocols becomes
available.

We began our local produce program in 2008 with a commitment to serve at least 25% of at
least one produce item in each market while seasonally available, and increased that commitment to 35% in 2009. For 2010, we have increased our local produce goal to 50% of at least one produce item in each market while seasonally available. Also
for 2010, 40% of all the beans we buy are organically grown, up from 35% in 2009, and about 42% of cilantro used in our restaurants is organically grown. Additionally, 50% of the cheese currently used in our restaurants is made using milk from cows
that are given access to pasture, as opposed to being kept in confinement like most dairy cows.

Stock Repurchase. In
November 2009, we announced that our Board of Directors approved the expenditure of up to $100 million to repurchase shares of our common stock. We have entered into an agreement with a broker under SEC rule 10b5-1(c), authorizing the broker to make
open market purchases of common stock from time to time, subject to market conditions. We purchased stock with an aggregate total repurchase price of $56.4 million under the authorized program during the six months ended June 30, 2010. On
July 22, 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors has authorized the expenditure of up to an additional $100 million to repurchase additional shares of our common stock. The existing repurchase agreement and the Boards authorization
of the repurchases may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

The significant factors contributing to our increase in revenue for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 were restaurant openings and comparable restaurant sales increases. Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 for restaurants not in the comparable restaurant base contributed $44.8 million and $85.2 million of
the increase in sales, respectively, of which $12.3 million and $16.3 million was attributable to restaurants opened in 2010. Comparable restaurant sales increases contributed to $33.1 million of the increase in revenue for the second quarter of
2010, and $48.0 million of the increase in restaurant sales for the first half of 2010. Comparable restaurant sales growth was due primarily to increases in customer visits.

Food, beverage and packaging costs decreased as a percentage of revenue in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 due to favorable food costs, primarily rice, cheese, avocados and chicken due to the switch to 20% commodity chicken resulting from supply constraints which we are working to alleviate as soon as possible. This
decrease was partially offset by the increased cost of tomatoes and barbacoa as we began serving 100% naturally raised barbacoa in the second quarter.

Other operating costs remained flat as a percentage of revenue in the three months ended

Other operating costs decreased as a percentage of revenue in the six months ending June 30, 2010 primarily due to the benefit of
higher average restaurant sales on a partially fixed-cost base. We continue to expect the marketing and promotional spend as a percentage of revenue to increase for the full year 2010 compared to 2009 which will result in increased other operating
costs as a percentage of revenue for the second half of the year as compared to the first half.

The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2010 primarily resulted from an increase in
stock-based compensation expense, hiring more employees as we grew and increased travel costs. As a percentage of revenue, the decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to the benefit of higher average restaurant sales on a partially
fixed-cost base, partially offset by increased expenses listed above.

During the third quarter of 2010, general and
administrative expenses are expected to be higher due to our all manager conference being held in August. For the full year 2010, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue are expected to be consistent with 2009.

The increase in pre-opening costs for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was a result of an
increase in the number of restaurants opened and under construction in 2010 and an increase in rent expense recognized during the construction period due to higher average rents for new locations.

Loss on disposal of assets for the second quarter of 2010 remained flat as a percentage of
revenue.

The loss on disposal of assets decreased as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010
primarily due to a decrease in the number of remodels and asset retirements in the first six months of 2010. The decrease in asset retirements was a result of comprehensive maintenance and repair programs instituted over the last couple of years and
continued assessment of, and in some cases adjustments to, our estimated useful lives.

Interest and other income increased primarily due to higher average short term investment balances
and higher yields on our investments compared to the same periods in 2009. Interest and other income remained flat as a percentage of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Seasonal
factors cause our profitability to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Historically, our average daily restaurant sales and net income are lower in the first and fourth quarters due, in part, to the holiday season and because fewer people eat out
during periods of inclement weather (the winter months) than during periods of mild or warm weather (the spring, summer and fall months). Other factors also have a seasonal effect on our results. For example, restaurants located near colleges and
universities generally do more business during the academic year. The number of trading days can also affect our results. Overall, on an annual basis, changes in trading days do not have a significant impact on our results.

Our quarterly results are also affected by other factors such as the number of new restaurants opened in a quarter, timing of marketing
and promotional spend and both planned and unanticipated events. New restaurants typically have lower margins following opening as a result of the expenses associated with opening new restaurants and their operating inefficiencies in the months
immediately following opening. Accordingly, results for a particular quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary liquidity and capital requirements are for new restaurant construction, working capital and general corporate needs. We have a
cash and short-term investment balance of $307.0 million that we expect to utilize, along with cash flow from operations, to provide capital to support the growth of our business (primarily through opening restaurants), to repurchase, as currently
authorized, additional shares of our common stock subject to market conditions, to continue to maintain our existing restaurants and for general corporate purposes. We believe that cash from operations, together with our cash and short-term
investment balance, will be enough to meet ongoing capital expenditures, working capital requirements and other cash needs over at least the next 24 months.

We havent required significant working capital because customers pay using cash or credit cards and because our operations do not
require significant receivables, nor do they require significant inventories due, in part, to our use of various fresh ingredients. In addition, we generally have the right to pay for the purchase of food, beverage and supplies some time after the
receipt of those items, generally within ten days, thereby reducing the need for incremental working capital to support growth.

We have an unsecured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. with an initial principal amount of $25 million and an
additional $25 million accordion feature. Borrowings under the credit facility will bear interest at a rate set, at our option, at either (i) a rate equal to an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 2.0% depending on a
lease-adjusted leverage ratio, or (ii) a daily rate equal to (a) the highest of the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, the banks published prime rate, or one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, plus (b) a margin ranging from 0.0% to 1.0%
depending on a lease-adjusted leverage ratio. The facility includes a commitment fee on the unused balance ranging from 0.25% to 0.5%, based on the lease-adjusted leverage ratio. Availability of borrowings under the facility is conditioned on our
compliance with specified covenants including a maximum lease-adjusted leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The facility expires in February 2014, but can be terminated or decreased at our option prior to expiration. We intend
to use the credit facility, if at all, for letters of credit issued in the normal course of business and normal short-term working capital needs. As of June 30, 2010, there were no loans outstanding and available borrowings were $19.7 million.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are both significant and that require us to make difficult, subjective or complex
judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual
results may differ from these estimates, and we might obtain different estimates if we used different assumptions or conditions. We had no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates since our last annual report. Our critical accounting
estimates are identified and described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Changing Interest Rates

Were exposed to interest rate risk through the investment of our cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities. Changes in
interest rates affect the interest income we earn, and therefore impact our cash flows and results of operations. As of June 30, 2010, we had $105.0 million deposited in available-for-sale securities, $113.5 million in accounts with an earnings
credit we classify as interest income, and $70.0 million in short-term investments, which combined bear a weighted-average interest rate of 0.6%.

Commodity Price Risks

We are also exposed to commodity price risks. Many of the ingredients we use to prepare our food, as well as our packaging materials, are
commodities or ingredients that are affected by the price of other commodities, exchange rates, foreign demand, weather, seasonality, production, availability and other factors outside our control. We work closely with our suppliers and use a mix of
forward pricing protocols under which we agree with our supplier on fixed prices for deliveries at some time in the future, fixed pricing protocols under which we agree on a fixed price with our supplier for the duration of that protocol, and
formula pricing protocols under which the prices we pay are based on a specified formula related to the prices of the goods, such as spot prices. However, a portion of the dollar value of goods purchased by us is effectively at spot prices.
Generally our pricing protocols with suppliers can remain in effect for periods ranging from one to 18 months, depending on the outlook for prices of the particular ingredient. In several cases, we have minimum purchase obligations. Weve tried
to increase, where necessary, the number of suppliers for our ingredients, which we believe can help mitigate pricing volatility, and we follow industry news, trade issues, exchange rates, foreign demand, weather, crises and other world events that
may affect our ingredient prices. Increases in ingredient prices could adversely affect our results if we choose not to increase menu prices at the same pace for competitive or other reasons.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.

As of June 30, 2010, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There were no changes during the three months ended June 30, 2010 in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

A
lawsuit has been filed against us in California alleging violations of state laws regarding employee record-keeping, meal and rest breaks, payment of overtime and related practices with respect to our employees. The case originally sought damages,
penalties and attorneys fees on behalf of a purported class of our present and former employees. The court denied the plaintiffs motion to certify the purported class, and as a result the action can proceed, if at all, as an action by a
single plaintiff. The plaintiff has appealed the courts denial of class certification, and the appeal remains pending. Although we have various defenses, it is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the outcome of or any potential
liability from this case.

Were involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of
business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. However, a significant increase in the number of these
claims, or one or more successful claims under which we incur greater liabilities than we currently anticipate could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

On
July 22, 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors has authorized the expenditure of up to $100 million to repurchase shares of our common stock. This authorization is in addition to the $100 million in stock repurchases announced in

On July 27, 2010, Jack Hartung, our Chief Financial Officer, adopted a sales plan
designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The sales plan, which Mr. Hartung adopted in compliance with restrictions imposed by our Insider Trading Policy, is intended to facilitate the diversification of
Mr. Hartungs personal assets. The plan provides for sales of shares of common stock owned by Mr. Hartung, subject to specified minimum market prices. Total sales on Mr. Hartungs behalf under the sales plan are limited to
an aggregate of 2,500 shares. In the event all of the shares subject to the sales plan are sold, Mr. Hartung would continue to beneficially own 35,941 shares of our common stock, including 25,000 shares underlying vested stock options but
excluding 137,300 shares underlying unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights and 15,000 unvested performance shares.
